48yrs still at it over 30yrs. I have terrible joint pain mostly knees and shoulders if any younger guys see this "stay away from the real heavy weight you will pay the price when you get older". BELIEVE ME I'M LIVING PROOF FOR ALL OF THE MAXING OUT LIFTS. IT WEARS YOUR JOINTS OUT.

48YRS Still cooking been lifting for over 32yrs.I have all the aching joints to prove it. Once agian all you young guys be careful with the heavy weight and maxing all the time you will pay when you get older,I'M LIVING PROOF

Will be 39 this September and feeling good. Besides having my personal life in order (career, family, etc.) again concentrating on my body and eating habits with have changed a lot from my earlier days.

I will start HRT this week and will keep a log. Right now I stand at 180pd, about 10% bf lifting since I can remember (days of columbu, platz, zane, tinerino, etc)

Glad to be here learning from other and hopefully I will be able to share some of my experiences.

Regards,

Guess i'll bump this-after 10 days I must be the only newbie thats also a dinosaur. I turn 46 in Nov & like temetrepo I remember Zane, Coe, Samir Bannout, Casey Viator & all the greats from the 70's & 80's. Yes & of course, Arnold.
I'm lifting again after a 4yr layoff that I devoted to martial arts & i'm fired up about hitting the iron again!

turning 51 in october..

been working out since 1979 without any layoffs...
started cycling aas in 1998 and have taken my physique from 150 lbs @ 15% BF to 210 lbs and 9% BF - but coming off the cycles was real tough on my body-so I made the (controversial) choice to stay on year round at very low/moderate levels and my body looks bigger and better than ever.
low doses of deca/test and anavar with no bad sides-as of yet.

As our folks always told us--- everything in moderation!

would love to know if any other guys like me are still lifting seriously and still in the Gear Game....

 

[temetrepo]

Gunner:
What do you consider low moderate amounts and how often? Also, any issues with deca and limp dick?

Hi I am 47 and just checking in as this is my first time here. I am 5'11" 200lbs 10% body fat. Currently have been doing 300 test 300 Deca a week for about 2 years now. l also 1.5 ius of GH m-f. This seems to work well for me as I have blood tests every 6 months and everything has been fine. Also use Nolvadex 20mg every other day. Thanks
